i don't use bsetroot, but my guess would be that it uses hex values.

Subject: bsetroot - rgb huh? Bug?
Can someone explain to me how bsetroot parses rgb descriptions? There is
a tremendous difference between
bsetroot -solid rgb:99/99/0 (goldenrod on my powerbook)
and
bsetroot -solid rgb:100/100/0 (dirty greyish green)
but then only very minor changes up through
bsetroot -solid rgb:100/250/0 (slightly nicer green)
playing around, it almost seems that red is broken - that 0-99 acts as a
percentage of 256, while anything larger is brown
bsetroot -solid rgb:99/0/0 (bright red)
bsetroot -solid rgb:100/0/0 (the color of somewhat moldy russet potatoes)

Really? He might do it just for fun. I know I would. If I were God,
I'd get together with all my other God friends and have a big party.
We'd all get drunk and create unliftable rocks, then try to lift them.
It would be loads of fun! Then I'd probably just destroy the rocks
with a lightning bolt. Then I'd probably pass out. :^)
